As we age, our skin gradually loses its youthful elasticity. No one wants to see sagging skin in the mirror, but many patients aren’t ready for the discomfort, downtime, and scars of a surgical facelift. Sofwave™ gives you a non-invasive way to tighten your skin and rejuvenate your appearance.
What is Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that utilizes innovative ultrasound technology to improve the appearance of aging skin. This FDA-cleared treatment is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. At Awaken Aesthetics, Sofwave™ is one of our popular options for individuals looking to improve the texture and tone of their skin without downtime or discomfort.
How Does Sofwave™ Skin Tightening Work?
Sofwave™ uses micro-focused ultrasound waves to penetrate the skin’s surface and stimulate collagen and elastin production. These two proteins are essential to your skin’s structure, keeping it firm and elastic. Our bodies produce less collagen and elastin as we age, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin, and fine lines.
Sofwave™’s ultrasound technology works by heating the deep layers of the skin, which triggers the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This results in tighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Sofwave™ Results
Patients who undergo Sofwave™ skin tightening treatments at Awaken Aesthetics enjoy visible improvements in their skin’s texture and tone. You can expect tighter, more elastic skin and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Most patients see optimal results with just one or two treatments. However, it takes time for your skin to create new collagen, so it can take up to 12 weeks to see your results. The skin tightening benefits of Sofwave™ last approximately a year. We recommend yearly maintenance treatments to preserve your results.
Is There Downtime After Sofwave™?
One of the most significant benefits of Sofwave™ skin tightening is that there is no downtime. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. Some patients may experience minor redness or swelling after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sofwave™?
Sofwave™ is an excellent option for individuals who want to improve the appearance of their skin without surgery or downtime. It is safe and effective for all skin types and tones and can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and chest.
Individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity or wrinkles may benefit from Sofwave™ treatment. However, patients with more severe skin laxity may need a surgical facelift for optimal results. We’ll assess your skin elasticity and goals during a comprehensive consultation to help you determine the best treatment option.
